The study investigated the anti-correlation between thermal diffusivity and Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) in Usibor® 1500 steel. The non-destructive pulsed laser spot thermography technique was used to analyze fifteen boron steel specimens with varying bainite/martensite phase percentages, while the UTS was measured through uniaxial tensile tests. A 23 % thermal diffusivity difference was found between fully martensitic and fully bainitic structures, with UTS varying by around 90 %. The strong anti-correlation was confirmed (Spearman coefficient −0.98) and an empirical power-law equation was derived to estimate UTS based on thermal diffusivity variations. The approach showed an R-squared value over 0.84, providing a non-destructive thermographic procedure for UTS estimation in Usibor® 1500 steel, offering valuable material property insights.
